Mr Dolla Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 What's going on guys. I just registered but I've used this site many times and this is a great site. I just brought a Z2 off a friend of mine and wondering what can I do to make it better, such as updated maps, HD upgrade (if possible) and hacks/mods. I was also reading that these units tend to freeze up. I appreciate all your input, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 You can a larger hard drive, but it can only be used for music storage. You can add a slightly faster hard drive, but not very noticable. You can do the 2 wire bypass for full functionality while driving. Updated maps, firmware, POI, CDDB, and XM Channel logos. The freezing issue is fixed with a firmware upgrade, or complete system upgrade that included maps, firmware, and POI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Dolla Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I did the 2 wire bypass which should allow you to use all the icons while driving but mine isnt doing that and says that its connected inproperly when I start it up, did I do it correctly? How do I updated the maps and firmware? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Try pressing the small reset button on the front of the unit. If this does not fix it, then you did not do the 2 wirebypass corretly. Check the 2nd wire (the one you move to a new location in the harness). You can update the maps and firmware: 1. Buy the Pioneer update 2. See the hacks section for DIY 3. click the link in my sig below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
